Doctors told him that under no circumstances could Garner play as a goaltender for at least one year. So Garner is now skating as a forward with the SPHL Jacksonville Barracudas! He hopes to return as a goaltender in the future, and also hopes to obtain Norwegian citizenship in time to participate in the 2010 Olympics.
